One of the defining features of Bea’s work is her dedication to providing breathtaking views, even when the surroundings fall short.

She demonstrated this in a transformative project on Miami Beach’s Venetian Island, where she created a vertical garden encased in glass, replacing a mundane street view with a lush, green oasis.
